Protecting
your cat from fleas is essential for health and well-being. Flea bites
not only cause discomfort for your cat, but also can cause irritation
that can lead to skin infections. In some cases, flea bites can lead to
allergic skin reactions, or even result in the transmission of other
disease-causing organisms, such as tapeworms.

Millions
of pet owners have found success against fleas with Advantage Topical
Solution. Its successor, Advantage II, kills even more flea life stages.
Advantage II kills fleas through contact, so they don't even have to
bite to be destroyed. This helps reduce the risk of secondary problems,
such as flea-allergy dermatitis.

The
active ingredient in Advantage II, imidacloprid, acts on the nervous
system of the flea to cause paralysis and subsequent death. Advantage II
destroys the fleas living on your cat within 12 hours of application,
providing quick relief for your pet. Reinfesting fleas (newly hatched
fleas jumping back on your cat) are killed within two hours of
application, so if your pet picks up fleas from another animal or
infested environment, those fleas will be killed as well.

Advantage II Flea Control Medium Cats 5-9 lbs

Kills fleas within hours of application

Breaks flea life cycle, protecting against future flea infestations

Waterproof formula won't wash off

Easy to apply

Includes twelve convenient one-month doses

For cats eight weeks and older and weighing 5-9 pounds

The adult fleas you see are only a small percentage of the infestation.View larger.

Protects Against Further Flea Infestations

If
you are already dealing with a flea infestation, you may only be aware
of the adult fleas, which comprise a mere 5 percent of the full
infestation. The flea eggs, larvae, and pupae make up the other 95
percent of the infestation and can be virtually invisible to the eye.
The insect growth regulator contained in Advantage II effectively breaks
the flea life cycle at multiple stages to treat existing infestations
and prevent future infestations. Each dose of Advantage II provides
protection for an entire month.

Waterproof Formula

Advantage
II is waterproof, so there's no need to reapply after your cat has a
bath or goes out in the rain. Studies show that cats are still protected
against fleas after exposure to water, though for best results, cats
treated with Advantage II should be bathed with a non-detergent shampoo.

This
Advantage II product is EPA approved and registered, so it's guaranteed
to be the exact same product sold by your Veterinarian. Click here for more information on EPA-approved pet products.

Package Contents

Two boxes of six include 0.4-millimeter tubes of Advantage II for Small Cats.

Usage Info

How to Apply

Applying
Advantage II to your cat is a fast and easy process. First, remove the
applicator tube from its packaging and use scissors to peel down the
foil. Next, hold the applicator tube in an upright position and pull the
cap off the tube. Use the upturned cap to break the protective seal,
and you're ready for application.

Part
your cat's hair on the back of the neck at the base of the skull until
the skin is visible, then place the tip of the tube on the skin and
gently squeeze out the entire solution. Placing the treatment here
minimizes the cat's ability to lick the product, which is bitter tasting
and may cause salivation for a short time if licked after it is
applied. Do not get this product in your cat's eyes or mouth. Dispose of
the container and do not reuse or refill. Do not empty unused product
in any indoor or outdoor drain.

For
optimal control and prevention of parasites, use Advantage II every
month. Do not use this product on any animals other than cats.

Length of Effectiveness

Under
normal conditions, Advantage II is effective for one month. However, in
cases of severe flea infestation, retreatment may be necessary earlier
than four weeks. Do not retreat more often than once every 14 days.
After flea control is attained, return to a monthly retreatment
schedule.

Caution

See back panel for first aid. For instructions on storage and disposal, see supplemental labeling inside package.

Ingredients

KEY INGREDIENTS

Imidacloprid

Imidacloprid
is an ectoparasiticide, an antiparasitic agent that targets parasites
living primarily on the surface of a host. Chemically classified as a
chloronicotinyl nitroguanidine, imidacloprid inhibits neurotransmitter
transmission in insects, resulting in paralysis and death.

Benefits

Imidacloprid
exhibits both adulticide and larvicidal flea efficacy; it not only
kills adult fleas and larvae on your pet, but it also kills larval
stages in your pet's immediate surroundings.

Main Purpose

To kill fleas at all stages of their life cycles and stop them from being able to move or feed.

Pyriproxyfen

Pyriproxyfen,
the added compound in Advantage II, is a pyridine-based pesticide. A
juvenile hormone analog, it interferes with the hormone signaling of
growing insects, so that insects in immature stages are unable to
mature. Additionally, a female insect that touches the toxin will
produce eggs that will not hatch.

Benefits

Pyriproxyfen
provides an added layer of protection for pets and their surroundings.
It interrupts the flea life cycle at multiple stages, halting the growth
and development of insect eggs and larvae and preventing reinfestation.

I was hestitant to purchase a topical, but the fleas this year were unbelievable, I had huge outbreak. I had a couple of cats , long hair, where I coudn't really get them under control so I used this. It works, it's affordable. Plan on having this at the beginning of flea season next year to prevent the problem instead of having to cure the problem.

didn't work well at all by Wing08/08/2012

We have used Advantage on our cats for years now, but this particular batch is very substandard! It didn't smell much and the cats did not mind having it on at all. This is not usual. They usually hate it for a few days. But most important, it didn't kill all the fleas. The cats still have some fleas on them but our vet said not to put more on the cats within the month.

Not a flea in sight! by ren from Waterford Ct.07/01/2013

Taking in a rescue cat was a concern regarding fleas. We applied Advantage II the day before we brought her home. She gets it once a month. Easy to apply , no flea collars to get hung up on. Love it.

the answer for me by wildflower from edinburg, va12/05/2012

Have had trouble with fleas on the cats all summer. Switched to advantage and the scratching is over thanks

Easy to use..controls all areas. by Luv4pets from Rochester11/07/2013

Years ago I took in a kitten and named her "Peanut" because she was so tiny. Well, she didn't grow very big and I kept her inside with the rest of the cats, who adopted her nicely. The Advantage II Flea Control Small Cats works the best for her as I do have one cat that goes out and a dog. Knowing they can bring fleas in, as well as I could, I treat her with this product faithfully.

Excellent Product by Sue07/18/2012

Not only is the product excellent the price was better than other sites I searched and it was delivered promptly.

Only way to go! by Gabby08/27/2013

This product is very good quality. It is very effective and acts quickly. The price is a fraction of what you would pay at a vet. I have 4 cats and a dog so the savings to me are definitely worth it for a product that works.

Another Great Product by Bernie from Pacifica, California12/06/2011

Advantage II Flea Control for small cats works wonders. Just like the Advantage II Flea Control for 9lbs and over that I use for my other cat the fleas seem to disappear overnight. I was using another product from another company and my cat would have scabs after using it but with Advantage II from Entirely Pets.com my cats coat is back to it's beautiful, soft self again. Thank you for a great product.

Advantage for Cats/Order Placed for my Mother by Sherri McGee from Indianapolis, IN10/28/2011

It was NOT clearly marked for "Fleas, Tics, etc." and that is what she truly needed, so now both of us are not going to order online again, as you can not be sure your getting what you ordered.

Good quality flea med by Sparky from Terre Haute, IN11/26/2012

Advantage II is good stuff - it used to get a bad rap compared with Frontline, but what I've noticed is that fleas appear to develop immunity over time: I'd used Frontline for 2-3 yrs, then it stopped working. I switched to Advantage & the fleas just fell off the cats. It's about time to switch back, but my point is, Advantage is just as good & they've also improved the product in the last few years. I've not found better prices than Entirely Pets, either.

Advantage 11 by the cats from Westport, MA06/10/2013

love this product. Used to use frontline, but this one has exceeded my expectations. I have 6 cats, so we need to be flea & tick free!!

Advantage II For Small Cats by Michannemag from Bakersfield, CA02/07/2013

Excellent product and the fleas disappeared immediately. Love this stuff for my kitten. Venus is pictured. We found her in a flower bed when she was 2 weeks old. I took her inside and started bottle feeding her 4 to 5 times a day. She has grown wonderfully and we love her so much!

Great buy! by kevman08/01/2012

I tried a generic brand of frontline. Didn't work. My cats had fleas crawling all over them & I purchased Advantage & fleas were gone in 24 hrs.! Product didn't make the cats nuts like other meds. I would choose this product over frontline.

by Sparrow07/05/2012

It works when there's not a *bad* infestation. For normal maintenance, it seems to do the trick.

Can't Do Without by Teapot from Mobile, AL06/26/2012

Have 5 cats and each month on the 24th they all get treated. Not that they are happy about it but I am cause there are no fleas or ticks on them or in my house.

Seems to work by Joe from NC01/16/2015

Since the product was applied there have been no sign of fleas.

The BEST FUR Sure! by Frankie from Pittsburgh, PA02/03/2014

After 3 treatments of Frontline Plus Failure...the Advantage gave immediate relief to my Pets and to my Well-being too. Will never use anything else!

good product by catlady24/701/16/2014

My cat weighs 7 lbs (right in the middle for this product 5-9 lbs). It did help but the next dose that I used was for larger cats (over 9 lbs). It gave me more of the liquid and did not harm my cat. Killed fleas as described. Did not have a strong odor like Frontline Plus. Flea infestation was very bad in 2013. I have indoor cats and they still got fleas. I plan on getting a jump start on battling fleas when spring arrives.

Effective by Pam01/01/2013

This product works quickly to kill all stages of fleas. Others I used did not kill the larvae or eggs and my cats developed extreme allergies to flea bites until this finally got rid of them. My cats are strictly indoor cats so it was important to me to make sure the fleas did not get serious and infest the house. Not sure how the cats even got fleas in the first place.

One of the foil packages of the product was smashed in transit.

I love this product by Laura Adair from Bobcaygeon, Ontario07/31/2012

I found Entirely Pets web site last year. I am so glad they ship to Ontario, a lot of the sites I went on didn't. I ordered the Advanage II for my cat and my dog. It works really fast. Enirely Pets shipping is pretty fast. I usually get my package with in 1 1/2 weeks. Their prices are affordable and it's the same product you would get at the vets. I have told a lot of people about Entirely Pets.

Awesome product! by DaisyGirl from Atlanta, GA04/15/2012

This product has helped my babygirl Daisy win the fight over flea allergies. She normally has a hard time with sores and bumps from flea bites. We live in GA so we have fleas year round! Thanks for selling this great product!

Advantage II by lambchp12/06/2012

Very good purchase by Scoobydoo1 from ONTARIO CANADA06/23/2014

I ORDERED ITEMS AND WITHIN A WEEK HAD THEM DELIVERED TO MY DOOR , ITEMS WERE PERFECT AND PRICES WERE GREAT . I WAS VERY PLEASED THANK YOU

Flea medication by angelplum53 from Pittsburgh, PA05/22/2013

This product works great on my 15 year old outdoor / indoor cat. I use it every year. Price is right too compared to what vet sells it for.

when I gave my cat his second dose of advantage ll flea control for small cats the next day he was comatose and it took a bath with detergent and two weeks before he returned to normal . Emotionally exhausting as well as a hefty fee from vet for blood work to determine what cause was. My vet told me he no longer carries advantag ll for cats as this isn't the first cat to react to this medication.
vet's advice, use revolution
my advice, don't use advantage if you love your cat.

Works fast and effectively!! by Trish from Venice Fla03/18/2013
